.T 0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT O. LOTTMAN, of Houston, in the county ofHarris and State of Texas, have invented a new and Improved Mosquito-NetFrame, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

- My invention relates to a mosquito net frame, and has for its objectto provideaframe which I may be frequently taken apart and joined againwithout the slightest damage to the connections, and whereinthe saidframe will be effective, durable, and ornamental.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of theseveral parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed outinthe claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 isa perspective view of my frame attached to a bed; Fig. 2, anenlarged detail perspective view'thereof, and Fig. 3 an enlargedhorizontal section through the standard-head.

In carrying the invention into effect two standards, A A, are employed,having attached to their upper ends arounded head, B'. The saidstandards are united by a horizontal bar, a, having reduced ends adaptedto enter aligning apertures 12 in opposing sides of the standard-headsB, a rigid attachment of the bar a to said heads being effected by thepassage of detachable pins 0 through the heads, and also through thereduced ends of the bar a, an aperture, 0, being made in the heads and aregisteringaperture through the reduced ends of the rod to accommodatethe said pins.

Duplicate apertures 12 and c are made in the front side of thestandard'heads B, and horizontal side bars, D, are held in saidapertures at one end by the detachable pins 0 in" similar manner to theattachment of the rear horizontal bar, a.

The upper portion of the frame is completed by the attachment to theouter ends of the side bars, D, of detachable ornamental heads E, whichare preferably of the same size and design as the aforesaidstandard-heads B,

the frame is rectangular in form, consisting of 1.

front, side, and rear bars adj ustabl y united by a series of detachablepins to ornamental heads located at each corner.

The upper extended portion of the frame is supported by brackets F,detachably attached to the standards A A and to the under side of thehorizontal side bars, D, the attachment being made by the lower inneredge of said brackets engaging an upwardly-inclined pin, f, secured inthe standards, and the entrance of a pin, f, secured to the top of saidbracket in the under, side of said side bars, and inclined upwardly in.an opposite direction to that of the pin f to enter a similarlyinclined hole. v

The canopy-frameis secured to the bed by a downwardly-inclined pin, H,secured about the center of the standards, adapted to be entered in adiagonal aperture at the top or rear side near the ends of the bedstead,the frame being further stayed by the angular bar h, pivoted in thelower ends of the standards, adapted to be passed under the edge of thehead-board or bed-frame at the back.

'It will be observed that the frame may be readily detached and foldedin a small compass, and that when in position a rigid ornamentalstructure is obtained.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a mosquito-net frame, the combination, with the standards A A,provided with detachable heads B,'of the rear horizontal bar, a,horizontal side bars, D, front horizontal bar, D, and a detachablebracket, F, and upwardly-inclined pins f f,secured,respectively, to thestandard and to the bracket in similarly-inclined holes, substantiallyas shown and described.
